Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone how long does it stay in your system

suboxone

How long does suboxone stay in your system? Will 1 pill effect a urine screen? Can it be detected in the urine? If so, how long till 1 pill wears off?

I do feel foggy, dizzy and alittle off but I think that is becaus my brain is now receiving the new drug. How long will the sub stay in my system after i stop....does anyone know? i heard the after life of each pill is like 48 hrs or so..

How low have you tapered down to when trying to get off? That could be one of the problems. 8mg is a pretty hefty dose. The doctor I worked for in the sub clinic recommended that patients did not jump off until they had tapered down to at least 0.5mg/day. If you were trying to come off at 2mg daily, or higher, the w/ds would be pretty bad (most times). A lot of people don't realize that a low dose of sub really isn't a LOW dose comparitively.

So, I figure to drop in two days to one quarter of a pillm stay ont that for one week, then drop to one quarter every other day (subox stay in your system for so long, that you don't need to take it everyday at the end) and do that for 2 weeks. Then take one quarter every two days and do that for about 2 weeks. Then I plan to take smaller and smaller pieces, even if I need to shave them, every two days, until I can't go any smaller, then I will be be close enough, that I will just stop!

Hey SupaT--------Are you sure you want to go the Sub route-------I tried it short term at low doses and found nasty to wd off of------I had anxiety, depression , and insomnia-----it stays in your system a long time----try to do some more research on subs----but there are people on this site who are more up on this than me---- I went ct but I am self employed so I could take a few days off-to wd-------you can get monthly scripts for subs but you are just trading one drug for another-------Don't

I took my last 1mg piece yesterday! Im done with sub...I only took a total of maybe 30 mg in a s 2 1/2 week time period!

Does suboxone hurt your liver if taken to much? What kind of side effects does it have if any? im sure you would have to explain to your doctor that you have a problem with opiates so that you could be perscribed the suboxone right? ! am very curious about this "drug" i have a big problem with the cravings...when im in a good place i can quit easily it's just staying clean that is the hard part...

I have been on Suboxone for 17 days now. The program that my Dr does is 8 months long. He said he could get me off the Sub faster (21 days) but to expect relapse if I decided to do it fast. Suboxone has a half life of 37.5 hrs so if you take 8mg at 8am you will have 4mg in your system at 9pm the following night.So think about the pills you took before the one at 8am.I wouldn't just up and stop it but hey that's just me.

Now I did forget to mention, if you take a percocet, and then take a suboxone to soon after, you will go into immediate w/d's, because the suboxone actually fights the other opiate in your system, and knocks it off of your receptors, but then the subxone does not attatch itself to the receptors either, and it is what they call precipiated withdrawl's. You can read about that on suboxone's site www.suboxone.

the problem is how long is he going to stay on the subs? he is still on pills and now addicted to subs. they are supposed to work a recovery program, to learn how to live independent of any pills. that time frame for the sub program greatly varies. we have had members who had done a 21 day program and some that stay on for years and years. there are many schools of thought. how old is your son? is the meetings he is attending mandatory?

The end result is what you're after.....Getting clean. Do it how ever you have to. If this is how you have to do it....do it. Good luck to you. And, Yes, the sub you have and they way you're doing it, should allow you to skip past the worst of the withdrawels. After you stop the Sub... after a week, you'll experiance the same symtoms of withdrawels as you would have at a week, if you had gone cold turkey. So you can expect, lack of energy, maybe some sleeplessness etc.

It depends on what your goal is. Suboxone is not a cure all. It has it's own side effects and is also very difficult to come off of. How long have you been on the methadone? And why would do you want to come off of it?

hello to all. I've been finding the forum a great place to read information, hear experences, and even laugh once in awhile. I've said I'm on Methadone and tring to taper. this will be my second time in five years. Needless to say the first time did'nt go to well. anyway I've been hearing alot of talk about subutex and suboxone. I'm wondering what's the difference besides one having a blocker and one not. and also I've seen it sujusted people are'nt using it the way it's ment to be used.

*Help to suppress withdrawal from prescription pain medications, heroin, or similar full opioid agonists. *Help to decrease cravings for other opioids. *Reduce the effects of full opioid agonists. It is possible that you are one of those people who when taking this drug had no further side effects or withdrawal. Great for you! You were probably one of those people who got the dose correct right off the bat. But, most people have withdrawal symptoms somewhat while taking this drug.

I'm not gonna debunk all the myths but here's one (the life of suboxone is 37hrs) That means as you dose it compounds in your system, buils up as you dose. please get all the info you can. If I offend anyone or anyone wants to dispute or argue over my post, dont waste your time or mine. i'm not doing this for entertainment or pleasure. Those of you who know me and do give proper advise on subs and taper know how serious this is. So, PLEASE don't guess at answering posts just to posts.

The only thing that worries me a little is the fact that I still don't feel any withdrawal symptoms.. It really does not make any sense.. How come I am not sick yet? The suboxone could not be as strong ?!? Normally I would be sick already yesterday.. Girrrl, " when I grow up, I want to be like you!" ha ha Congratulations on making it so far!! I will too!

Just once or twice.... and they get caught up yet again. Please try to remember how bad it is right now and stay far away from all drugs in the future. It is just not worth it. Good luck to you and my best wishes.

Youse got sick because methadone stays in your system much longer than you think...for days and days. I was using oxy and had to stop for 12 hours prior to the bupe. Still got a little sick but oxy leaves the system quick (it was 30 mg oxycodone...I had stopped the oxycontin 3 days earlier). The second day I used the bupe I felt normal (it was 8 mg bupe). The third day I actually felt a little loaded. The 4th day they cut me down to 4 mg and I felt a little rough.

I just posted to someone else that I found on the suboxone site, how the medical community is trying to change how addiction to narcotics is spoken about and viewed. I found hope in this maybe you can check it out. Even the words used to describe the person who is addicted need to be re-thought. I think when it gets so bad it won't matter who knows, or what the risks are, getting better will take the highest rung on our priority list. no matter what. you can do it.

But others have said their doctors prescribed it differently. My doctor said it best to take once daily as it stays in your system for a long time and is best to take one dose every 24 hrs. He should check with his doc though. I would suggest once daily -- hopefully the doc okays that.

The first 3 days were not that bad at all I took some vitamins did the look at the thomas recicipe it's on here it will help so much so I was ok at first body aches but nothing I couldn't handle, no remeber sub is a trcky drug it has a half life of 36hours so it takes a long time to get out of your system that's why most people say that day 3 starts and so does the hell.
